Art You Can Disappear Into

LINK quote [Desiree Palmen is an artist that can really get lost in her work - literally. She creates bizarre artwork of invisible people. To create these interesting illusions, she photographs a specific location or spot, such as a bookshelf, desk scattered with papers, or even somewhere in a park. She then spends a lot of time painting a homemade suit that is made out of cotton. She paints this suit by hand, trying to meticulously match the exact colors of the background photo. Lastly, she puts the finished suit on a model who then poses in the original location and tries to blend in as much as possible into the background].(via Attu World)
